does any body know if there is a wire in the harness to run a tach like the 'f' pickup models?? OR where do you pickup a signal to run a stock tach???? I have a stock one out of a f250 /6,9 dash ...If I can get a signal off the engine (I have the pickup on the injection pump drive) I could run this tach ... gluing magnets to the front pully has little to no appeal to me

i am going to install remote start this weekend and i also nead a tach signal. one of the wires from the cps, i think that they send a tach signal. but i dont know witch of those 3 wires that are tach signal that i can use for the remote starter

Look for the white/pink wire labeled PTO in the harness above the brake booster. I used that when I put a 00 SD cluster in my 97 van. Only problem is that the newer 7.3 has a lower tach signal so it looks as if I am shifting at 5-5500 rpm. I'll fix it one day though. Wouldn't trade the look of the newer cluster either.

More to come but I won't bore you with that crap till its done.

I'll have to check them out. I have gotten to like this cluster in my van a lot and don't want to take it out. And I really don't like the look of a tach seperate from the cluster, in a van atleast. Just my opinion though.

Thanks carringb

The CTO wire is what you want. Forget that I said anything about the PTO. I got them mixed up and I don't think there is a wire that says PTO. But, the wire you want will be white/pink, will be cut off, and have a label on it that says CTO.
